Abstract
The results of 22 procedures (8 for elbow extension, 14 for hand rehabilitation) on the upper limb in tetraplegia are reported. To evaluate the effect of surgery an objective hand function test is presented. The few complications after surgery must be attributed to the material used.Keywords
